Smartphones and other smart devices have brought us to a new level of connectivity, information gathering and sharing over the internet. The popularity of mobile devices has also brought us, that’s right… Selfies. Unfortunately, with selfies comes the duckface, butt selfies and other crazy acts caught on camera. Selfies are evidence of how some people take great risks and do pretty dangerous and stupid things just to take a selfie that will create a buzz or stir attention from other people.
Some experts have stated that posting selfies on social media platforms suggests behaviours of self-objectification and narcissism. The following 20 selfies showcase some funny, silly and dangerous ways people show their vanity.
1. Why not take a crotch shot AND a duck face selfie?
